Tip of the Week for 5/20/13

Tip of the Week Submission Winner: Congratulations to this month’s winner, Jane Lynch of RE/MAX Specialists in Lilydale! She received a $30 Caribou Coffee Cardfor her tip submission of special search options. Here’s Jane’s tip:

When searching or setting up searches for a client looking for 3 BR on 1 Level — located in the “Special Search” box (as seen in the screen shot below) — be sure to include the Special Search option of 4 BR on 1 Level in the search as well. Adding that field can yield more results for your client.

In addition, make sure to use both options when listing 4 BR on 1 Level by checking both 3 and 4 BR on One Level in the check-box when adding a listing in Add/Edit (as seen below). If a listing has 4 BR on One level and 3 BR is not checked, other MLS users may miss seeing when running a search.
